Hiking the Tongue Mountain loop

Two Saturdays ago I hiked the Tongue Mountain loop which provides spectacular views of Lake George.  It's an easy hike, but took longer than expected because I hurt my knees about halfway through.  There are a lot of ups and downs so make sure to take hiking poles.  It's a fairly long hike as well so make sure to take plenty of water.


Hiking stats:
Mileage: 12.9mi
Moving avg: 2.5mph
Moving time: 5:08
Overall avg: 1.9mph
Total ascent: 3833ft
Max elevation: 1770ft


The hike offers plenty of chances to see the lake:
Lots of up and down:

I've now completed seven hikes toward my challenge.
